"The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination." - Don Williams, Jr. (American Novelist and Poet, b.1968) .

"Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be...Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you'll live as you've never lived before."

- Erich Fromm quotes (German born American social Philosopher and Psychoanalyst, 1900-1980)

What do you think will be the life of a non believer in a world where almost 99% of the population believes in a supernatural Big Daddy in the sky? It's not easy.

My story begins like any typical Filipino story. I was born and raised in a Roman Catholic family that took religion for granted. It's a typical scenario for most Filipino families. Going to church seems to be just a weekend obligation, a Sunday ritual. Roman Catholicism seems to be taken for granted. If you will look at a typical Sunday here in the Philippines, many people attend church service to pray. Well, not all Filipinos really take a damn about church doctrines and dogmas, but going to church is a tradition and Filipinos are known to be very religious.

If you don't know, this so-called prophesy sounds convincing…Unfortunately, problems abound.Daniel 9:24-2724Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

25Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

26And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

27And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
